INSAR.AR
NASA Disasters Program
Visualizing data
Presented at the cities and volcanoes conference, Naples, September 2018. In collaboration with NASA Earth Science disasters program, we used mixed reality to give Time series data, Interferograms a 4th dimension. The visualisation provides a new perspective to observe, learn, communicate and share scientific evidence. It opens a new starting point to correlate different time series scientific evidence, enriched in this new dimension.
The Installation is visualised using only Satellite time series data, taken over 10 years showing the deformation of topography on the Hawaii Big-Island +/- 60m. Hawaii was chosen for this particular installation because of the activity on Kilauea volcano, which in fact erupted in June 2018 during the development phase of the project. The eruption or collapse of the lower east riff zone is clearly evident in the AR environment.
